I can believe the 1st bit at least.

Which newspaper is that from?

I can believe Hurst was sacked by phone but not the £10 million bit.

Will 10m be enough? I'm 100% behind Lambert but he has a massive task on his hands.

At least Evans has improved on the text that Jim Magilton got.

EDIT: Apparently not true, cheers Phil.

There might be some truth in that figure. Widely known that Lambert is a good spotter of talent and that he'll need a decent budget to keep us up.

We certainly won't stay up without spending. £10m is peanuts to most Championship clubs these days, its just ME has been under investing for years.

I would assume Lambert got some sort of assurance regarding Evans backing him financially in January because he’s got no chance of succeeding without bringing in the quality we are so obviously lacking.

As for how Hurst was sacked I really don’t care. I’m just grateful he’s gone!

That isn't true, he phoned him. Jim was supposed to meet Simon Clegg that morning but went back to Northern Ireland the previous night as his mother had been taken ill. With news of RK's appointment likely to break they didn't really have an alternative. Far from ideal but not quite as callous as has been suggested.

I doubt it'll be as much as £10m but you've got to think he's been promised some money to strengthen in January. We brought in £10m plus over the summer and spent about half of that so there ought to be funds available.

Could be something in that money thing. Didn't Lambert leave Blackburn because he didn't think that he could do a lot with them for the amount of cash he had availible, or something along those lines. Anyway, I can't see him coming in just for the gig on a hiding to nothing like Mick did, stay up bonus aside.

He did.

As I said to a few people, we need him and he needs us. This is a great opportunity for him to prove his worth and almost a free hit if he doesn't manage. I actually wouldn't be surprised if his remit is to do a Mowbray and bring us straight back up.

I guess at least Hurst has left him players who know the league below.....

If 'Operation Don't get Relegated' doesn't work then we clearly need a plan for ' Operation Get Back up.'


I sincerely feel that Lamberts the boy for this.



It should never had got to this. Never.

Agree that it should not have got to this and in my view there was one very obvious way that it could have been avoided but there you go.

£10m in Jan eh, bet MM would love to hear that, probably be too late by then and there is no doubt that anyone we'd try to bring in would cost twice as much anyway....Jordan Hugill for example..

Mowbray never suggested that he would want to leave Blackburn. He is in the process of getting them back to the Premier league, why would he have wanted to leave a club with ambition, to come to Ipswich?

In 2019 that's just 1 player. Considering we need six or seven if you divide that 10mil isn't going very far... and consider that Waghorn and Webster went for close that fee alone and one of those is a substitute.

It's time to make the best of it.

Ah, cheers for the clarification. I think people were saying text on here at the time and over the passage of time my memory has turned that into fact. That's the problem with people who post nonsense on here. Edited.
